Aged Perfection in Every Bottle
This year’s limited edition bourbon features a carefully selected combination of four batches aged for 13 and 19 years. The core of this remarkable blend comes from Four Roses' ten distinct bourbon recipes, showcasing a 13-year-old OBSV recipe, a 13-year-old OBSK, another 13-year-old OESV, and an older 19-year-old OESV. Each batch exhibits a unique character that contributes to the overall complexity of the final product.
Your Experience Awaits
Brent Elliott, the Master Distiller at Four Roses, shares his thoughts on this year’s bourbon. He emphasizes the importance of crafting a blend that highlights the unique qualities of their recipes. According to Elliott, the delightful notes of fruit and subtle sweetness are complemented beautifully with the complexity brought in by the OBSK batch. The addition of the 19-year-old OBSV adds depth that enhances the bourbon's allure.
